The Florists^ Review 



June 17, 1920. 



CLEVELAND, O. 



The Market. 



The market last week was rather slow 

 except for some weddings and special 

 sales. White roses and lilies of the 

 valley have been in great demand; in 

 fact, there seem to be more weddings 

 this year than ever before, in spite 

 of the high cost of living. Peonies are 

 beginning to arrive in large quantities 

 and the price is dropping, as the supply 

 greatly exceeds the demand at present. 

 Bachelor's buttons, calendulas, myosotis, 

 swainsona, ^ypsoi^hila and other odd 

 flowers have been moving well. Eoses 

 have been selling and are still of good 

 quality, but carnations are poorer 

 every day. 



It would bo to the advantage of many 

 retailers if they would have more spe- 



cial sales now that the supply is plen- 

 tiful and prices low; the few who have 

 them are benefiting by creating a bigger 

 demand during the dull season. 



Various Notes. 



Walter Priest, of the Cleveland Plant 

 & Flower Co., has purchased a new 

 Cole touring car. 



George Wilhelmy has installed a 

 beautiful electric fountain at his home 

 in Lakewood, which shows up in the 

 evening to good advantage, with its 

 many colored lights. 



There was a meeting of the adver- 

 tising committee and the wholesalers at 

 the Hollendeu hotel, Thursday after- 

 noon, June 10, to discuss the future ot 

 the newly tried advertising fund. It 

 was tried during the month of May and 

 proved a great success, with only about 

 :i half dozen objectors. 



The Cleveland Cut Piewer Co. has isi- 

 creased its capitalization from $10,000 

 to $250,000. 



Ella Grant Wilson, of the Floral 

 Syndicate, has started on a trip which 

 will last to August 4, including Indian- 

 apolis, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, 

 Denver, Yellowstone Park, Portland, 

 Crater Lake, Oakland, Santa Cruz, 

 Menlo Park, Los Angeles, Pasadena, 

 San Diego, Grand Canyon, Salt LaKe 

 City and Richmond, Ind. 



The architect for the Jones-RusscU 

 Co. was at Chicago last week arranging 

 some of the special features of the new 

 store to be opened in the autumn in 

 the Euclid avenue theater building, 

 which is to be second to none, not only 

 in Cleveland but in the country. The 

 display and storage refrigerators are 

 to be handled by an ice-making ma- 

 chine.
